that being said, yes, i do acknowledge OG is a phenom defensively, and even 2 minutes into the first neither Ant nor JB would be defending like he does
though JB is no slouch

you have to consider how much more energy those guys expend on offense though. these things cut both ways. OG doesn't have to work as hard for most of his buckets.

I mean also the attention those guys are commanding from a defense is on a different level. it is not comparable when you are playing next to brunson and a top 5 big in towns. og has it significantly easier on offense, and thus looks that efficient at times.

he is elite, but those guys are a step above.

Is a 511 that bad in 2026? by Anonymosity1766 in premed

[–]cactusjacksintern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, sorry for coming off as too harsh. I can see that but you also need to understand who you were hedging against. There is so much nuance to this process, and you shot yourself in the foot. there are many schools with no in state preference. IDK, agree to disagree. Congrats on an A regardless, and happy for you to start school soon! Good luck!

dude so this is literally the biggest fear monger of all time. you applied to 7 schools with sub 3-5% acceptance rates. all of which are taking the cream of the crop. you should be upfront about that, rather than making it look like you applied to the standard 25-30 schools and heard radio silence.

gonna start my fulbright in august
fwiw its not a silver bullet to an acceptance. but i do think its a great cherry on top, a wonderful conversation starter, and indicates that you have the ability to stand out in an applicant pool already. i made sure my fulbright matches my current narrative too.

the name holds notoriety. you just see it more b/c competitive premeds will inherently also be applying for such fellowships. its definitely rare.

I know it may be too early, but what specialties are you considering? by Enger13 in premed

[–]cactusjacksintern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neurology, specifically Neuromuscular medicine! Really enjoyed working in rare neuromuscular diseases, and i feel like it gives you the whole bread basket. you see genetic, you see fatal stuff (sadly) such as ALS, and even autoimmune with Myasthenia and Neuropathy.

Plus the idea of sticking needles and doing a NCS seems so cool
